From the Locks of Love.org website:
Each prosthesis requires between 6 and 10 ponytails and each strand of hair is hand injected into the silicone base up to 150,000 times.
I’ve now donated 4 ponytails. That means I’ve donated almost a whole head of hair to someone who needs it. This latest ponytail is 16” long. I typically let it get down to the bottom of my back so that I’m not scalped when they cut it LOL
No, she’s not sucking her thumb. She’s just keeping it warm. Yeah.
Yes, she’s still keeping it warm, while modeling my ponytail.
No, Cookie was not trying to eat my ponytail.
That would be Jimmy, messing with the photo
by throwing the cat UP in the air behind Libby LOL
Look! She’s a unicorn!
Libby wants to do it next. When pulled straight, her hair reaches almost to the backs of her thigh! I’ve shown her the Locks of Love website and the kids that they help, and now she wants to do it – like RIGHT NOW. She wanted me to cut her hair last night! I can’t wait to see her with shorter hair again
I have very few actual FRIENDS. I have tons of acquaintances, facebook “friends”, twitter “followers” – but very few FRIENDS.
But one person that I DO call my friend, and to whom I immediately was drawn to because of so many of her wonderful qualities, is celebrating her birthday today!
One regret I have of moving away from Rhode Island was that she & I didn’t get a chance to meet until after I’d moved away, and then of course, couldn’t spend more time together. But our friendship is such that we don’t have to see each other to feel at ease with each other. Hell, I’ve only SEEN her in person twice! The first time was when she came to Newport, RI to see my brother Tommy in a show he was performing in, and the second time at BlogHer Boston last year. But through our numerous conversations online and on the phone, our friendship has bloomed anyway.
I admire her in so many ways. Her sense of confidence is just incredible. The way that she’s transformed herself in less than a year, taking on huge challenges and kicking ass. She’s become A MARATHON RUNNER, people. MARATHON! She’s set out on a new adventure in her life and again, exudes such confidence that it’s contagious.
I wish her absolutely everything GOOD the world has to offer her – My Friend – Jane Coutu/Porricelli/Coutu
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!!!!
You’ll notice that there are only 2 children in these photos, although I distinctly remember having given birth to 3. THAT’s because the littlest one fell asleep while I was trying to get the other two kidlets finished up. So no trick or treating for Zachy this year – but that’s ok. Check out my other two rugrats
no one had to ask him who he was this year. LOL His dad did an awesome job on the makeup job AND the silvery costume thingie, which was totally a remake of another costume from a few years ago
Zachary was gonna be a pirate – but not so much I’ll try and get him into the costume today just so I can take pics LOL
(Just a note on Libby’s makeup. *I* did her makeup, and she smudged it a bit – so her FATHER fixed it up and that’s why it looks like she used a magic marker LOL)
I stayed home w/the baby so I could give out candy while sitting on my so VERY cutely decorated porch – and I think we had a TOTAL of 10 kids. Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. LOL
But the pumpkins? PUMPKINS WERE ROCKIN!
Again – 3 kids – 2 pumpkins. THAT’S because ANTHONY had to be difficult and
blow the candle out on his before I got a chance to take a picture. Again – I’ll do that tonight, I suppose. MAYBE. Nothing like staying topical on this blog, huH!?
The kids built this leaf pile in the park we’d gone to. This was Libby’s 8th or 9th try at running through the leaves because I wanted the effect of her BUSTING THROUGH AND MAKING THE LEAVES FLY! She’s so small that even when she ran through them, they’d just move. LOL When we finally did get the right effect, the kids went right back to rebuilding the leaf pile. I think the reason why they had hard time was that the leaves were GIGANTIC. They were twice the size of my hand, and very heavy. But she managed! [so much for WORDLESS Wednesday]
